Fusion vergence measures
The purpose of this study was to compare fusional vergence measurements between orthophoria, esophoria and exophoria and determine the strength of correlation between fusional vergence and angle of deviation. This was a cross-section study of 530 children aged six to...
A case of ipsilateral fourth nerve paresis and Horner’s syndrome
The author presents a single case report of an exceptional association between fourth nerve palsy and ipsilateral Horner’s Syndrome. The case is presented alongside magnetic resonance images (MRI) which reveal a mass in the right cavernous sinus. The 54-year-old woman...
Fusional vergence measurement
This paper reports a systematic review to address two objectives: 1, to compare the normative values of tests measuring fusional vergence; 2, to investigate sources of heterogeneity of prism accuracy. The review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines with a...
Anatomical variations of the nasolacrimal system
The authors report a retrospective observational case series of 734 dacryocystography images; 689 from adult patients and 45 from paediatric patients. Of these 734 images, 35 (4.8%) were found to have an anatomical variant where the nasolacrimal duct emerged from...
Changes in phoria measurements after physical activity
This study aimed to evaluate effects of physical activity (aerobic and anaerobic) on the latent eye deviation. The study recruited 20 competitive soccer players (10 myopes (mean -0.63D) and 10 emmetropic: 19 males), who underwent a total 90-minute exercise of...8th Heidelberg Engineering Academy Research Masterclass

Specialty Contact Lenses
Specialty Contact Lenses, edited by Daddi Fadel and Melissa Barnett, is a comprehensive and clinically focused text that reflects the growing importance of specialty lenses in modern eyecare. As practice shifts beyond standard refractive correction towards increasingly personalised visual rehabilitation,...
Central corneal and epithelial thickness measured by Fourier domain OCT
This study examined intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility of corneal thickness (CT) and epithelial thickness (ET) measurement of Fourier domain OCT (RTVue) in 23 healthy volunteers. RTVue is capable of producing 26,000 A scans per second with depth resolution of 5µm....
Mapping areas to target location of vision screening services
In this study, the authors analysed data from a community vision screening program to determine the efficiency of vision screening in reaching lower income populations. The study used ArcGIS (Esri) mapping software to develop a visual representation of areas needing...Trends in Opthalmology hosts Grand Ball in honour of Sir Harold Ridley 70th anniversary
Sir Harold Ridley spent his working career at St Thomas' and Moorfields Hospital specialising in ophthalmology. During World War II, Ridley saw Royal Air Force casualties with eye injuries and observed that when splinters of acrylic plastic from aircraft cockpit...
How reliable is the postoperative diplopia test and can it predict postoperative outcomes?
A two-phase process evaluating the postoperative diplopia test is presented. A standardised operating procedure was used for conducting all postoperative diplopia tests for this study which is described in the paper. Phase one focused on reliability, test-retest and interobserver. Adults...
